Not hugely as recycling not done in Egypt but I bought a lot from local people, and we visited an animal sanctuary.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent.Deborah Reagin review 11 Jun 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
It is mind boggling how many temples, pyramids, tombs, obelisks, and other antiquities there are in Egypt - and how well preserved they are! Walking where kings and pharaohs lived 4000BC is just incredible.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Wear comfortable shoes. Sunscreen is a must! Bring body lotion - the air is very drying. You might also want to bring a few washcloths. Bring lots of small bills for tips, water, bathrooms. Avoid the overnight train - so, so, so unclean.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The tourism industry in general supports the local people. I don't believe that our holiday reduced environmental impact or supported conservation - other than perhaps our visit to an animal sanctuary. There are so, so many things that are needed to support environmental impact - starting with ways to clean up streets in major cities and offering support and resources to education efforts.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Our holiday was exhilarating, frustrating (so many persistent vendors!!), eye-opening, incredible.Gilly French review 31 Oct 2022
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The old city in Cairo, the night train, all the historical sites.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, although I didn't agree with the company policy on avoiding eg horse-drawn transport (and other animal-related matters). I'm also not sure that taking an internal flight can be said to 'reduce environmental impacts' but this has never bothered me. The benefit to local people was enormous (and very important).4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent. The organisation and leader were exceptional and there was so much to see and do.Suzanne Gray review 18 Jan 2020
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Optional hot air balloon ride and the Nile cruise2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Check weather forecasts travelling in January it was colder, especially at night, than I was anticipating.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Apart from the 3 internal air flights that obviously have an environmental impact it felt as if we mainly used local businesses, and there was a visit to an animal charity hospital.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very good, more an experience than a relaxing holiday, but I feel much better informed about both modern and ancient EgyptHoliday Reviews
